I recently swapped my hdd with an ssd and performed a fresh install of fedora, When I went to reinstall my flatpak application it is requiring me to install gigabytes worth of dependencies and libraries, I am in a Data crunch and I still have the old files; is it possible to just copy the dependencies over and which files am i supposed to copy? (Old installation was also fedora with same username and passwd)

    Flatpaks are all containerized, its really nice. All in the same directory, glad that it worked! You can do the same for the Flatpak user data directories in ~/.var/app/.

    Run the Flatpak app once, close it again, then the user data file structure will be there. If you delete the files you simply reset the app, its like Android, awesome.

    And if you simply delete all the files and swap in your old files, it will be the same Flatpak app as on the old device.
